Today we’re launching our 2nd annual SoundCloud Community Fellowship to support and encourage the best creative minds to express their vision through sound. From mid-August to mid-October 2012, we will support up to 10 Fellows as they pursue a project of their own design using sound as a creative medium.

This page features a variety of unreleased and unpublished songs,demos and instrumentals by UK composer/musician John Ellis. He has worked with major names in UK music (The Stranglers, Peter Gabriel, Peter Hammill etc), but has also been at the front end of electronic music since he got hold of his first synth (Minisonic 2) in 1973.

John is currently looking for an agent for live work as a solo singer/songwriter. 

He has created audioscapes for Art exhibitions and film, some available as commercial releases.

Ellis has now started CHANOYU RECORDS. The first release is WABI SABI 21©, an album by John Ellis of electronic instrumentals inspired by the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Already receiving some nice reviews, Chanoyu Records are looking for international record labels to license our releases.

2020 marked Simon Roberts’ mainstream debut as Media Music Composer, with a nomination from ITV, for a Royal Television Society Crafts and Design Award for his score for “Return to Belsen,” directed by Simon Broughton, and written and presented by Jonathan Dimbleby. Simon teams up with MultiStory again in 2021, for the follow-up, “The Cellist of Auschwitz,” featuring Anita Lasker-Wallfisch.

An early successful Opera career, which saw him managed by Luciano Pavarotti and living in Italy, Simon was forced to prematurely retire from the opera stage for health reasons, and the enforced convalescence that followed, gave him time to consider new professional directions. 

Having worked as an opera agent for a while, he decided to pursue a career as composer, inspired by Gian-Carlo Menotti, for whom he worked as PA between 2003-2005. 

Following a year of study under Hans Zimmer, a string of media music credits followed, including film scores for Will Rogers' "Bloodline,' Rachel Kelly’s “The Colour of Torment,” alongside scores for the small-screen documentary "Tyranny and Absolute Power - How Magna Carta Happened," for the Manorial Society of Great Britain, and most recently the award-nominated "Return to Belsen” for ITV/MultiStory. 

With 5 singles so far commercially released as “Classicalbanksy,” all eyes are now on the debut album, "Transgenre." The release date has been put back to early 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and boasts a stellar line-up of guest artists.
